01

Overview

Blood stasis in channels" is a concept from Traditional Chinese Medicine describing a pathological condition where blood flow in the body’s vessels or meridians is impaired, leading to symptoms such as fixed pain, dark or purplish skin/tongue, varicose veins, and menstrual irregularities. It is considered an underlying pathology for a broad range of chronic diseases in TCM—including cardiovascular disease, pain syndromes, gynecologic and oncological conditions—although it is not recognized as a discrete or measurable clinical entity in modern biomedical science. Therapeutic interventions in TCM focus on restoring normal blood flow using a variety of herbal and physical therapies.
